Is there a way to stop only specific excel tables from automatically adding columns (but not rows)?

Our take

Are you frustrated with Excel tables that automatically expand when all you want is to control specific columns? You’re not alone. Many users struggle with keeping their tables functional while trying to incorporate spill arrays without the hassle of unwanted auto-fills and expansions. Fortunately, there are ways to tweak table properties that can help you maintain row expansion while preventing column auto-expansion. Dive in to discover practical strategies that let you customize your Excel experience without sacrificing functionality.

I want to place a spill array in the column right next to the table, but whenever I do that I have to undo both the auto fill and the table automatically expanding its range to include that spill formula. Naturally that's pretty annoying, but I do want to keep that functionality otherwise. However, I would like to maintain the table's functionality to expand rows, and I don't want to prevent other tables from expanding both rows and columns

I get the feeling I can't even modify specific tables with what I want, but I figured I would ask anyway. I'm aware of the workaround of adding a hidden column in between my formula and the table, but I'd prefer to modify the table's properties directly.
